Peek at the Menu at Hutong; Regarding the Bodega at Duende

Marina: Tablehopper got a peek at the new menu, debuting (probably) this weekend, at Hutong, a.k.a. the recently former Betelnut, still helmed by chef Alex Ong. [Tablehopper]
FiDi: A new Jewish deli just opened across from Crocker Galleria, at 126 Sutter, called Shorty Goldstein’s. We heard about it back November, and it’s a project from a former Betelnut chef, coincidentally, Michael Siegel. See the menu here. [Scoop]
Oakland: In advance of the full review in tomorrow’s paper, Luke Tsai publishes a mini review just of the small wine, coffee, and olive oil shop at Duende. [EBX]
Also, Homeroom is now doing a “drive-thru” deal, with online ordering, which is more like a drive-up situation with curbside service. [Scoop]
